St Mary Bourne NP St Mary Bourne Parish Neighbourhood Plan - 2016-2029 Submission version: April 2017 1 Foreword St Mary Bourne, Stoke and the Hamlets – Wadwick, the Wykes, Egbury and Binley – are the constituents of a vibrant community (The Parish). It is a balanced group of settlements in terms of its population’s backgrounds and occupations, and has a number of landowners rather than a single dominant one. Figure 1. Area covered by the St Mary Bourne Neighbourhood Plan The Parish has a particular character which the vast majority of residents appreciate and a set of amenities which many villages lack. We benefit from many community-minded activists, driving a wide range of clubs and events from cricket, through badminton to renowned amateur dramatics. 2 In 2011, the Parish Council established a long-term planning group (LTPG) to assess the need for a Neighbourhood Plan (the SMB Plan, or SMBNP), in order to ensure that the community could become closely involved in defining the future of the Parish. The LTPG has reported back periodically to the Parish Council as the qualifying body which has minuted its approval and/or comments on the SMB Plan. The SMB Plan has been developed over a longer period than intended, in part due to the Basingstoke & Deane Local Plan (the ALP) being delayed in its completion. Despite this technical issue, in April 2014 a public meeting was held and a draft of the SMB Plan elements presented. Almost the whole company present agreed that 95% of the SMB Plan was what they saw as the vision for the Parish for the period from 2016 -29. A summary of the process can be found in Appendix 2. Aims Our chief Aims are: 1. Provide a framework for sensitive development of the parish, to allow it to continue to grow and therefore to sustain the parish communities and their assets but also to retain the character of the parish. 2. Rebalance the housing stock, to allow development of sufficient homes for those starting out in life and to facilitate older people downsizing. 3. Share the burden of new development in a positive way, to reduce the strain on St Mary Bourne and Stoke and to reinvigorate the Hamlets. 4. Encourage Community Action projects, which whilst not within the technical scope of the SMB Plan, will support and enhance the development of the Parish. 3 Objectives To deliver these Aims, we have consulted widely over the past few years with residents, other interested parties, the Local Planning Authority and Statutory bodies and have developed the following Objectives as a basis for the SMB Plan Policies: 1. Focus on re-developing redundant agricultural buildings, in order to protect greenfield sites, respect sightlines and reduce the burden on infrastructure 2. Support developments which rebalance the housing stock 3. Support lower cost market housing and Rural Exception sites for non-market housing, provided this does not contradict other Policies 4. Ensure that new development is well-designed, helps to create a strong sense of place, and reinforces the distinctive character of the villages and hamlets, and conserves or enhances visual amenity 5. Provide for site types which do not further strain the infrastructure of the village, particularly the sewage and fresh water systems, parking and traffic flows. Considerations In parallel to the extensive consultations held with the Parish and other parties, the LTPG has worked against the background of the following Considerations, which are factual drivers limiting or promoting certain Policies: 1. Potential development areas need to take into account the topography of the Parish, the fact that St Mary Bourne and Stoke are vulnerable to flooding which also affects adversely the effective functioning of the sewerage network, and that traffic flows through the Bourne Valley are impacted by other developments, such as Augusta Park and Picket Piece in Andover 2. Affordable housing is a key Objective, but its delivery entails a number of challenges, including site sizes, budgets of providers and the eligibility of local people. 3. There is a large existing stock of non-market housing, which we would encourage the owners to review and assess how this could be developed or adapted to support the Aims of the SMB Plan. 4. Adjacent proposed or recent developments, such as that at the Viaduct between St Mary Bourne and Hurstbourne Priors, Augusta Park and Picket Piece in Andover, have a material effect on our Parish but the SMB Plan is not allowed to take these into consideration. Community Action The SMB Plan includes a number of community action projects. These are not planning policies, however they identify issues which are important to the community and will help to guide the activities of the parish council and other community groups. These have been included within the Plan in order to ensure that the views of local residents are fully reflected. These community action projects also provide important contextual information concerning priorities in the parish. 4 Copyright Jo Whitworth 5 Sustainability In addition to the Aims and Objectives, the SMB Plan needs to have at its centre the sustainability of the Parish, both in terms of its environmental status as well as economic and social factors. The Policies set out below are intended to fulfil the Objectives and to protect the valuable landscape and heritage aspects which the Parish benefits from. To this end, and based on the Strategic Environmental Assessment (Appendix 5) carried out, the Policies are intended to respect the character of the Parish, the historic significance of the Conservation Area and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the particular nature of individual locations. New development should conserve and enhance these, whilst allowing for an incremental rise in number of dwellings. The situations where new development will be permitted are governed by the statutory development plan, comprising the SMB Plan and the Local Plan established by Basingstoke & Deane. The SMB plan takes into account the characteristics of the Parish and the SMB Plan Aims. We also refer to the North Wessex Downs AONB Management Plan for guidance. St Mary Bourne is a rural parish, with a dispersed character, and has poor public transport services. This results in an over-reliance on the car which in turn creates traffic and parking issues within the Settlement boundary of St Mary Bourne and on roads through the Bourne valley. In addition, traffic flow through the Bourne Valley and from Andover via the Wykes creates speeding and parking difficulties. There are limited employment opportunities in the area, and it is intended that the SMB Plan should help to address this by encouraging home working where appropriate, and thus fostering employment as part of new developments. Existing infrastructure in and around St Mary Bourne is constrained. The area suffers from flooding and the effective functioning of the sewerage network is compromised when the water table is high. There is an identified shortage of smaller and more affordable housing in the village. The Housing Survey conducted by the LTPG showed that: 1. 63% of respondents (294 replies) were in households of 1 or 2 persons 2. 64% of respondents to the question “Why have you been unable to purchase a property locally” replied “Too expensive” 3. 65 households – equal to around 11% had a member who would need alternative accommodation within 5 years and 80-90% of these wished for 1-2 bedroom units. 4. In response to the question “If new houses were built, what would be the most appropriate”, the responses clustered around Affordable homes to rent, Small family homes and Homes for older people downsizing. 6 Overall Growth Strategy: key principles Large-scale growth across the parish would be unsustainable given the rural character of the area and the topographical and infrastructure constraints. The overall strategy should be one of rebalancing housing stock to help halt the trend towards an ageing population and to cater for a range of budgets. The strategy should allow for incremental growth, based on smaller, more affordable house types and encouragement of local employment. New development is required to address current gaps in the market. The village population is getting older. Small housing units (1-3 bedrooms) are necessary to create more affordable homes for first- time buyers and to allow downsizing by older people. This is supported by census data, the householder survey, and analysis of existing and recently constructed stock. As chart 1 shows, the section of the population moving into the 60+ bracket is rising, while the proportion of younger people is declining. Sheltered accommodation and other forms of housing suitable for older people should be encouraged to cater for the needs of an ageing population. In turn this should free up larger units for families to upsize into. Given the characteristics of the Parish, growth should be dispersed, rather than concentrated, due to constraints of topography and restrictions on infrastructure. Housing growth should be based on previously used sites, subject to policies on house-type and design. To complement the dispersed character of the area, each site should have a limit of 6 housing units and most sites will not support this number. This will prevent over-urbanisation. Chart 1: Census data from 2001 and 2011 400 350 300 250 2001 200 2011 150 100 50 0 0-9 10-15 16-19 20-29 30-44 45-59 60-74 75+ 7 Policy on Redundant agricultural development sites Rationale: It is considered that growth should be delivered in a dispersed manner to complement the character of the area, avoid harm to the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by the massing of new buildings, and to avoid over-urbanisation.

  • Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council
    4. Test and Bourne Valley General Description The River Test and the Bourne Rivulet rise from the underlying chalk beds and dissect the North Wessex Downs character area. The valleys contain many woodland blocks and narrow woodland belts, which together with the sloping valley sides, form an enclosed landscape. The valleys widen and the landscape becomes more open, as the two rivers converge to the southwest of Whitchurch. Settlements are frequent along the valley floor and are characteristically linear in nature. The Bourne Valley lies within the North Wessex Downs AONB. Landscape The valleys cut through an underlying geology of chalk beds, with small areas of clay deposits on higher ground. Alluvial loams and valley gravels have been deposited by the rivers in the valley bottoms, resulting in vegetation that is very different from that of the surrounding chalkland. The valleys have flat floodplains with braided channels, watercress beds and water meadows used for grazing. The sloping valley sides are mostly used for pasture and arable farming. Small blocks of woodland are The River Test, Freefolk found throughout, particularly on the steeper valley sides where Beech and Ash predominate. Next to the rivers, there are many linear bands of Willow and Alder, together with some commercial Poplar plantations. Larger woodland blocks are found in and around the listed parkland landscapes of Laverstoke Park and Hurstbourne Park. Hedgerows contain chalk-loving species such as Dogwood, Wayfaring Tree, Spindle, Privet, Field Maple and Hazel. The main roads run along valley floors and lower valley sides. Minor roads are relatively infrequent and tend to cross the valleys at right angles.
